The gardens of Peleș castle - History, intentions and interventions

Summary/Abstract: Since the start of their construction in the late 19th century, the terraced gardens of the Peleş castle underwent, over time, various stages of transformation starting with their architectural image, iconographic programs and vegetal composition. By these means, this study will analyse their past, a number of intended consolidation projects that were never implemented and also some historical plans for the construction of new terraces, and will offer a series of principles and possible ways of restoring the landscaping complex so as to highlight and upgrade this important part of the Romanian national immovable heritage.
